Principal's Corner
Greetings,
This week we are having our first book fair in a long time. I would like to thank the moms for their many hours of hard work in cleaning out a space and setting up a beautiful display for our book fair. The students have been watching the set up and are really excited. All parents are invited to come down to the undercroft this week to have breakfast with their children and visit with each other. This is a great event to share good food and fellowship with other parents. Please see the notes for more details.
Our students have had many opportunities to pray and reflect this Lenten season. They have been to confession. Also, each week they attend school Mass on Tuesday, spend time in Adoration on Thursday, and attend student led Stations of the Cross on Friday. Your gift of a Catholic education to your children is truly invaluable - so thank you!!!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell

Rice Bowls
During Lent our school will participate in CRS Rice Bowl. In the first 40 years, more than $250 million has been given through CRS Rice Bowl to support programs that prevent hunger and poverty around the world. Of that, $62.5 million went to programs in the U.S. through local dioceses and $187.5 million went to CRS programs overseas. Rice bowls should be returned to the school office by March 23rd.
